Bradford City (H) - Pre-Match Discussion

[JammyBluebird]

From Club Site:
"David Dunn is hoping for positive news on Scott Quigley and Kgose Ntlhe, with the pair both hoping to push themselves back in to contention after injury for Saturday’s game against Bradford City.

The Bluebirds boss will remain without skipper Lewis Hardcastle who is nursing an ankle injury, while Tom Beadling is still sidelined with groin trouble.

Front man Courtney Baker-Richardson has undergone surgery on his hip and joins defender James Jones in being out for a longer period."

Thread for discussion and predictions ahead of Saturday

[A.B.]

Barrow 2-1 Bradford (James x2)

[Fazered]

On present form this should be a win for us Barrow 2-0 Bradford. May need to wear wellies

[MisterPleasant]

We just have to win this so that I can have bragging rights over my Bradford City-supporting mate, 2 - 1. Defeat and life will be unbearable.

[Desmond2-2]

Think the weather might be the winner here.

[Matty]

Think the weather might be the winner here.

Yep, scrappy game incoming. Possibly one of the worst weather games I remember was the Bristol Rovers FA Cup game.

That was bad. I remember us feeling sorry for the cameraman at the HSE so gave him a swig of brandy.

Probably more unbearable than the weather that day was the FAT game (Halifax I think) two seasons ago.....it was absolutely freezing made worse by the wind and rain. Players were treat afterwards for the effects of the cold temperatures.

Anyway...back to Saturday, good to hear Quigs getting close to fitness although I hope we don’t rush him back, a bit of pressure taken off us by the other lads all finding their shooting boots.

I never thought I'd say it but if lads are fit again they might have to sit on the bench. Not too sure you should change a team that are playing well plus we've rushed lads back too soon before.
I think the weather will play a part but im going for a scrappy 2-0 to Barrow

One word: Emley.

[Sefton Aubergine]

3-1.

[Man and Boy]

1....1

[Middleton Nick]

Don't underestimate Bradford. My Bolton spy couldn't believe they didn't score in the second half the other day. However, we are much improved and I think the second win is coming. 2-1.

Oh yes. Gale force winds, snow and hail coming dow horizontal. The first few rows of the small stand were frozen solid. Happy Unibond day's!!!!!
What year was it Jamie 199?

Let’s hope that injured players are not brought back too early and risk repeat injury. Best err on the side of caution

[David881]

Not confident about our ability to cut out defensive mistakes. Will need to score at least three if we continue to make those mistakes
